The Chicago food scene is cooking up fresh developments in food as medicine, new Chinese eateries, a Fulton Market Gibson's and some changes at LeTour and Sifr. Let's dig in. Herbal medicine: Award-winning Edgewater Thai restaurant Herb is launching new dishes designed to heal and delight. Chef Patty Neumson tells Axios that recent health challenges inspired her to infuse fresh menu items with healing ingredients from traditional food cultures including ginger, turmeric and cassia leaves. Winter squash chicken curry at Herb in Edgewater. Photo: Monica Eng/Axios Eat up: I recently sampled a velvety winter squash and chicken curry, zingy ginger pork, refreshing pomelo salad and pleasingly (for me) bitter cassia leaf curry that can be served with tofu or beef. All intense but delicious. Fresh Chinese spots Dungeness crabs at Marina Bay in the 88 Market. Photo: Monica Eng/Axios Last month saw the opening of perhaps the city's biggest Hong Kong-style dim sum and seafood spot with Marina Bay in Chinatown's 88 Market Place. The enormous main dining room offers dim sum until 3pm, when it becomes a Hong Kong-style seafood restaurant and banquet facility. What I'm eyeing: All the traditional Cantonese fare, of course, but also matcha Phoenix buns
